Explanation
"
Can we not wait for one hour watching for our Savior
Does this refer to the disciples falling asleep in the Garden of Gethsemene while Jesus was sweating great drops of blood because He knew what He was about to go through for us? Or does it mean that we have to go through suffering in our one hour in this terrible, fallen world compared to spending a glorious eternity with Him when we get to heaven?

Meaning
God says, "In the world you shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer for I have overcome the world." I believe that's what Natalie Grant might be conveying when she writes, "The wise hands open slowly to lilies of the valley and tomorrow." It's natural to go through a time of bitterness when sorrow strikes, and it numbs the pain, but it's also a cancer that kills our love. I believe Grant is advising us to let go of bitterness & let Him in. He sees each tear & they are not in vain. Someone else wrote that God's suffering is worse. I think Grant is referring to Christ's suffering in the Garden when His best friends fell asleep in the one hour that He needed them. And i think she relates that to us - Our hour in this fallen world, admonishing us to not lose sight of our savior. It will go so much better for us if we can wait on Him and see how He can turn our heartache to joy.
